Default Difference between real and fake oem rims?

How can you tell the difference between a factory 18 oem rim and a fake one?

Thanks

not sure what you mean by fake one and i'm not sure which OEM wheels you're referring to. If you're talking about the 18" wheels then a good indicator of a replica could be the paint job on them. I've yet to see any company that was able to replicate the paint job perfectly

Biggest indication is still how the wheel looks. I have yet to see any wheel that looks close enough to be mistaken for an Infiniti OEM wheel.

Fake rims are bootleg and OEM is genuine.
